This extensively updated edition provides comprehensive, evidence-based protocols for immobilizing a diverse array of wildlife species, from large ungulates and carnivores to marine mammals and exotic birds. With decades of field-tested experience distilled into practical guidelines, this handbook addresses the unique physiological challenges and safety considerations inherent in wildlife immobilization procedures. This essential resource delivers detailed pharmacological information on immobilizing agents, including dosage calculations, drug combinations, antagonist protocols, and species-specific considerations that are critical for successful outcomes. The text emphasizes best practices for minimizing stress and physiological complications during capture operations while maximizing animal and personnel safety. Each chapter integrates current research findings with practical field techniques, making complex anesthetic principles accessible for real-world application in challenging environments. The 5th Edition incorporates the latest advances in wildlife capture technology, updated drug formulations, and refined protocols based on recent clinical experience and scientific literature. Whether conducting population surveys, performing health assessments, or executing translocation projects, practitioners will find this handbook indispensable for planning and executing safe, effective chemical immobilization procedures across diverse wildlife species and field conditions. KEY FEATURES ------------ • Comprehensive drug dosage tables and protocols for over 100 wildlife species including terrestrial mammals, marine species, and avian taxa • Detailed pharmacology of commonly used immobilizing agents including opioids, alpha-2 agonists, dissociative anesthetics, and reversal agents • Species-specific physiological considerations and potential complications during chemical restraint procedures • Practical guidance on equipment selection, dart placement, monitoring techniques, and emergency intervention strategies • Updated safety protocols for personnel handling potent immobilizing drugs in field conditions • Evidence-based recommendations for drug combinations that optimize immobilization quality while minimizing recovery times • Field-tested troubleshooting guidelines for managing common complications such as hyperthermia, hypoxemia, and prolonged recovery TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- • Wildlife veterinarians and zoo veterinarians performing capture and immobilization procedures • Wildlife biologists and field researchers conducting population studies and wildlife management operations • Veterinary students and residents specializing in zoological medicine, wildlife medicine, or conservation medicine • Conservation officers and wildlife management professionals involved in translocation and rescue operations • Veterinary anesthesiologists seeking specialized knowledge in non-domestic species chemical restraint INSTANT ACCESS -------------- Download immediately after purchase Compatible with all PDF readers Personal use license included PRICE: HK$340.00 |
